Scroll Lock. Do you use it?

the scroll lock key is intended to temporarily stop the scrolling of text or halt the operation of a program. today, many program commonly do not utilize or function properly with this key . An example of a program that this key may still commonly be used in is Microsoft excel . users can press the scroll lock key to move the windows without moving the selected cell or visa versa. once upon a time there were no scroll bars which u could see at the right side or bottom of Ur window . at that time scroll lock used very much. for ex. if u have 100 lines of output for a program , you could see only the last 25 lines . to see the line above you have to go up again . to avoid this scroll lock are used. but when scroll bars are brought , scroll lock lost their familiarity since we can easily see any no. of lines when there is a scroll bar.

I know the function of scroll lock and my desktop have it. But I never felt like using it. I have progressed nice so far without that button and hoping to carry on without it in future too.

I have that in my keyboard though I don't know how to use it and I don't know what is that for.

that's very tricky question.I too have scroll lock on keyboard its use is to lock all scrolling technique.but now a days it is not frequently used therefor now keypad doesn't have any scroll lock key.

I think that scroll lock is used to lock the scrolling function. I am also tried to find the function of the scroll lock but i don't get it.

hha my laptop doesn't have that button i don't now what the function of that button maybe if you use it, you can't scroll the page you're looking at

Scroll lock is a key on most modern computer keyboards. The key is not used and therefore some keyboards lack Scroll lock altogether. The scroll lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern day software.
